    what's your hyw/Interstate cruising RPM?

    cruising at 70mph on I-70....at 2500 rpm. It has 235/85-16 tires i believe. Wondering about buying a programmer or possibly change  ring and pinion. I drive about 50 miles a day on I-70 for work,...and then pulling my new 7650# camper later this summer on a few trips

    what's your hyw/Interstate cruising RPM?

    okay,... I  believe I have the 4.10 . I failed to say also it is a automatic. My 2001 tahoe has the towing overdrive button on the gear shift, this does not though. It still seems high to be cruising at 2500 rpm on I-70. I'm going to take it out now and feel for the shifting,...make sure it has all.

    what's your hyw/Interstate cruising RPM?

    Just got a 1997 chevy 3500 crew cab with a 454. It cruises on I-70 at 2500 rpm and around 2000 rpm on hyw. This seems a tad high to me. I'm still trying to figure out what gear it has. I would have thought cruising on I-70 would be more in the 1200-2000 range. Just wondering what RPM's anybody...

    anyone use/try Powerhorse 2000w generators?

    okay,..get your points about noise. HOWEVER,..people keep saying "my neighbors"...."my neighbors" everywhere i've read. If I'm at a campground,..i'm going to be running on shore power, not a generator. The only time i will be using a generator ....is probably while staying in a WM parking...

    anyone use/try Powerhorse 2000w generators?

    Was wondering about a powerhorse 2000w for my forest river. I just have the one unit on top. Just wondering about experiences,..not doing the math. Really don't wanna spend (or have) $999 for the Honda name,...these are $569.

    ANYBODY tow with a Chevy Tahoe? How big you go?

    Thank you for explaining that. I do not have a trailer yet. That's why I was asking the tahoe owners how big they pull. So i could get an idea.

    ANYBODY tow with a Chevy Tahoe? How big you go?

    Hitch weight is less than 1000# on  several trailers i've looked at. That is the weight on receiver,..any family/cargo inside the tahoe, has nothing to do with receiver/hitch weight. Thank you though for your input.  I was asking for any tahoes pulling,...and how large they were pulling. Anybody...

    ANYBODY tow with a Chevy Tahoe? How big you go?

    OUCH!.. Things I had seen before said 27'-29' were pretty much the limits. I really need around 27'-29'. Those are the big enough ones with bunks in the rear. I've seen smaller ones with bunks,..but no room at all. I was hoping some people were pulling ones in that range with Tahoes. Iit's my...

    ANYBODY tow with a Chevy Tahoe? How big you go?

    I searched,...and wow, I'll be here for days trying to research. I have a 2001 Tahoe 5.3 auto with trailer overdrive. I went stupid once and bought a 38' shasta (yes , got home without killing anyone)...and realized , well you get the point. Sold that castle (and listened to wife ). I want...

    pets and AC units that freeze up ,...while your GONE away from the camper...

    Wow,..well if the temp OUTSIDE was cooler,...i wouldn't have been running it to begin with. I live in the midwest(Mo.) and that actual trip was to St. Louis,...and it probably was in the 90's at least that day. Enough to where our parrot made it,...however i'm reminded by my wife that when we...

    pets and AC units that freeze up ,...while your GONE away from the camper...

    just wondering. We had a rv with two ac roof units. One year we went on a typical summer week,..in the A-class. We had a parrot on the trip with us. While at a campground( yes plugged in) we left both units running on low to keep the rv fairly cool , for the bird. After spending the day at six...

    I have a 1999 shasta pull behind, just got it. When i hooked up my house house to it....because of pressure(of course) the faucets flowed no problem. When I turned on the pump switch by the sink,..nothing.The light did come on, and i did fill the water tank. Checked the fuse and it's good. The...
